United Kingdom – £2 – Tudor Dragon -1 Oz – 999 Silver – Proof- 2024

Ten mighty beasts guard the Moat Bridge at Hampton Court Palace from all who enter. Commissioned by Henry VIII, these heraldic creatures represented the power and influence of the House of Tudor and the Royal Mint created The Royal Tudor Beasts Collection to pay homage to these symbols of royalty of strength. The beast in the collection is the Tudor dragon, which was adopted by the Tudor family to celebrate their royal Welsh heritage. The Dragon is the last King’s Beast that visitors pass across the Moat Bridge as they enter Hampton Court Palace.
The inscription includes the official title and face value of the coin, adding extra formality.

The commemorative £2 coin issued by Britain’s Royal Mint in Proof quality and depicting the Tudor Beasts is a unique collector’s item. It is an opportunity to own a piece of modern history, which connects tradition with modern times.
